Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"Is the shrine over there?" Reiji Fukuura went there with his camera, "Then I have to go there and take a photo!"

"Wait!" Tu Shi Yicheng hurriedly said, "Recently, the village is preparing for the once-in-three-hundred-year festival. If you go now..."

"It's okay, I won't disturb them!" Reiji Fukuura waved his hand without looking back, and quickly disappeared around the corner at the end of the road.

"Hey! But..." Tu Shi Yicheng wanted to catch up, turned his head to look at the group of people who were still playing beside the Shenzhuzhimu, and finally gave up.

"Isn't outsiders welcome here?" Conan asked.

"Everyone doesn't want their peaceful life to be disturbed. It's okay to come to play, but if you want to take pictures, the priests here will not agree, and because President He Cang bought most of the land here and started construction, it is convenient for him to drive. The road was specially widened for traveling, which destroyed the environment here. Many villagers have objections to the Hecang family. You are here for the Hecang family. If you take pictures casually, then..." Tu Shi Yicheng sighed, and quickly Pulling himself up again, he said with a smile, "But you don't have to worry. At most, everyone just stopped him from taking pictures and wanted to drive him away."

Conan laughed dryly, isn't expulsion serious enough?

"Officer Tushi, is there a festival going on here recently?" Fei Yingli came from behind.

"That's right, it's a ceremony that only happens once every three hundred years, and it's only three days later," Tu Shi Yicheng said enthusiastically, "At that time, you can still see the national treasure-level magic mirror. If lawyers have time, they can stay until Attend the ceremony in three days before leaving."

"Ah, no," Fei Yingli refused with a polite smile, "I still have things to deal with, I'm afraid I can't leave it till then."

"It's a festival that happens every three hundred years, it's a pity not to watch it!" Mitsuhiko came up and joined the chat group.

Yuan Tai looked forward to it, "There should be a lot of delicious food by then, right?"

"Mr. Police Officer, what does that magic mirror look like?" Ayumi was more interested in the magic mirror, "Could it be a big crystal mirror?"

"There will be some special delicacies during the celebration," Tu Shi Yicheng answered the questions in a good-tempered manner, "but I don't know about the mirror, after all, it only comes out once every three hundred years, and before the festival starts, it is collected by the priest It is kept in a safe place, but I heard that it is a shiny black mirror."

"A shiny black mirror?" Conan asked suspiciously, "Aren't the ancient mirrors generally bronze mirrors?"

"I'm not sure about this, but it's true according to the rumors," Tushi Yicheng said, "I heard that the mirror can resonate with the sacrificial tree, and then an incredible phenomenon will occur, causing a total solar eclipse .”

Chi Feichi was smoking a cigarette and listening quietly.

There is no mobile phone signal here, the suspension bridge is the only way and it is easy to be destroyed, and there will be a festival three days later, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the rhythm of a serial murder case.

But he really had no impression of this case, not at all.

Now that Fukuura Reiji is acting alone, he won't be the first sacrifice, right?

In broad daylight, there should be many people at the shrine, there is a high probability that they won't... right?

"I remember it was said in the news," Mitsuhiko recalled, "the next time Japan will see a total solar eclipse, it should be in 2035?"

"Whether there will be a total solar eclipse at that time, I don't know, but..." Conan looked at Chi Feichi, "Fifteen Nights Village should have a connection with Mesoa-American civilization."

"Huh?" Bu Mei looked at Chi Feichi curiously.

"In the Mesoa-American civilization, Huizilopochtli, the sun god, is the god who breaks the night and brings people the light of the day. The light can bring the ripening of the grain and also symbolizes the harvest, so among the gods Among them, the sun god has a high status, and the enemy is the god of darkness, Disco Tripoca," Chi Feichi explained, "People are worried that Huizilopochtli will lose to Disco Tripoca. Worried that the world would never see the sunrise again and be ruled by darkness, he offered the heart of the human being whom the sun god liked as a sacrifice to him. In Mayan civilization, Aztec civilization and other civilizations, worship the sun god There is a tradition of living sacrifices. In the city of Aztec, the king would call six priests, five of whom would hold down the hands, feet and head of the sacrifice, and the remaining priest would cut open the chest cavity of the sacrifice, take out the heart, and return A beating heart offered to the sun..."

Ayumi shuddered, silently hugging Haibara Ai's arm.

Hui Yuan Ai was also a little speechless. Hearing Brother Feichi say these things in the same tone as usual without the slightest emotion, like a narration in a historical picture scroll, and like a god whispering to the world, it feels very weird.

"Those sacrifices were prisoners of war. In order to offer more hearts to the sun god, the Aztecs launched wars again and again, confiscating wealth, territory, and prisoners of war. They believed that as long as they continued to sacrifice their hearts, the sun god would be more powerful. Powerful, defeating darkness," Chi Feichi paused, and commented, "Stupid."

I don’t know when the surroundings fell into silence. Conan came back to his senses and broke the strange silence, “Hey, the god of darkness, Disco Tripoca, is also known as the ‘Mirror of Smoke’. Legend has it that he was swallowed up in the battle with the giants of the earth. The left leg was damaged, so an obsidian mirror was used to replace the left leg, and the shiny black mirror that the police officer said just now should be the obsidian mirror."

Mitsuhiko looked serious, "That means, this village is likely to enshrine the God of Darkness Disco Tripoca?"

"The name Fifteen Nights Village doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Sun God," Ayumi thought, "it's more like the village of the God of Darkness."

"But at least you don't have to worry about someone's heart being sacrificed," Fei Yingli saw that the group of people were interested in this village and was in a good mood, so she made a joke and turned to Chi Feichi, "Feichi, it's rare for you to A certain place is so interesting, do you want to..."

"Get out! Get out of here immediately!"

An angry voice interrupted Fei Yingli's words.

At the intersection ahead, an old woman who looked like ten years old was dressed in white and led a large group of villagers to drive Fukuura Reiji aggressively, "We have always lived a peaceful life here, and I will not allow you people to destroy it. !"

"But..." Reiji Fukuura was about to explain when he was surrounded by villagers.

"Hand over your camera!"

"Keep the picture and get out!"

"You outsiders are not welcome here, get out!"

"Everyone!" Tu Shi Yicheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop, lest a bigger conflict break out, "Calm down..."

Reiji Fukuura saw the police coming, and retorted, "Where is the stubborn old woman, I just want to take a photo, I have the right to report freely!"

Chi Fei watched from afar, not planning to step forward to help.

People who have been living in big cities may not be aware that in some remote places, when there are not enough police officers, they cannot stop the angry villagers.

Especially places with special beliefs are more dangerous.

A smarter person, if he can't beat a group of people, he will go sightseeing honestly, and if he violates other people's taboos, he will have a better attitude and apologize, otherwise he will be beaten to death.

Reiji Fukuura is not pleasing to his eyes... If you kill him, you can kill him.

Sure enough, the next second, the old woman in white said angrily, "I am the priest here, if you disrespect me, you will be punished by heaven!"

The dispute escalated directly into physical attacks, and a group of villagers started pushing and shoving Reiji Fukuura.

"Hey, everyone..." Tu Shi Yicheng tried his best to block the crowd, but he was alone, his thin body was not enough to look good in front of a group of strong villagers, and he was quickly swallowed by the crowd.

Fei Yingli subconsciously turned to the only adult male she knew so far for help, "Feichi..."

Chi Feichi looked at the crowd, well, there are so many people here, he can't just watch Reiji Fukuura being beaten to death, but going up to stop him is not the best way, "It's best for us outsiders not to come forward and follow The local villagers have physical contact, otherwise it is easy to cause large-scale fighting, first make some big noises to distract the crowd and calm down, and then let the local police officer communicate, he is a local..."

In the nearby woods, more than 30 birds flapped their wings and flew into the sky suddenly. The movement of the birds fluttering their wings was not small, and soon, a louder sound came out, almost spreading throughout the village and the mountains .

"Zhijijijijiji—"

"Ah!" The three children, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were startled, and quickly covered their ears.

Fei Yingli also covered her ears to resist the sharp and high-pitched voice, and looked at Chi Feichi blankly.

Chi Feichi also covered his ears and shook his head.

The noise was too loud, let alone the town hall, if the noise was louder, they would all have tinnitus, but it really had nothing to do with him, he hadn't figured out how to make a little noise in a 'friendly' way, which would make the rioting villagers They have a cooling time without being seen as a provocation.

It's not okay to hammer down at least two trees...

The sound didn't last long, it was like some kind of animal demonstration chirping.

"It's like the sound of a mozu..." Conan turned to look at Chi Feichi.

Chi Feichi was noncommittal.

Mozu, Anseriformes Thrushidae genus, the whole body is roughly black, dark brown, black brown, so it is also called blackbird.

In addition to the blackbird, the morah has many other names, such as the black tit and the mocking bird.

There is a poem about the sound of morazas: All the birds take advantage of the spring throat to kiss their babies, and the forest is full of endless crows in the new sunshine, but the lilies are the most meaningless, and they learn all the birds' sounds.

This is a bird that can learn to sing. It is good at singing and imitating sounds. It is difficult to distinguish from the sound, but it does sing a series of sounds like singing.

Just as Conan was about to speak, his eyes suddenly passed over Chi Feichi and noticed the branches of the ancient tree behind him, his pupils shrank and his expression changed instantly.

On the sharpened branch of the Sacrificial Tree, there was already a bloody corpse that had been pierced by the branch, and the branch extending from the abdomen was stained red with blood.

Shiratami Taimi looked like a rag doll hung on a tree branch, with her head and upper body leaning forward slightly, short blond hair hanging in a mess on the side of her face, covering most of her face, blood flowing through her abdomen and continuously dripping along her toes, Into the pool of blood at her feet.

Chi Feichi turned his head and looked over, silent.

This is the first teammate to be sacrificed to heaven.

Should he sigh with emotion that "life is fatal", or should he consider how to deal with the beginning of this seemingly serial killing incident.

Gradually, other people also noticed Shiratami Taimi on the sacrificial tree. After a moment of silence, someone made a piercing scream that was comparable to the weird chirping just now.

Tu Shi Yicheng took out the wireless intercom, stared up at the corpse on the tree, his hands were still shaking, and shouted to the other side, "This, here is the Tu Shi inspection of Shiwuye Village, there is an emergency! "
